A shopping mall Santa targeted and terrorised Toronto's gay village - murdering eight men in a seven-year killing spree. Why wasn't he stopped sooner?


Journalist Mobeen Azhar arrives in Toronto to investigate the story behind men who mysteriously went missing from the city’s gay village.

In his search for answers, Mobeen heads to the garden of a suburban Toronto home, where the serial killer and shopping mall Santa Claus buried the bodies of eight men.

Two more men go missing. Like the first victim, they are also brown skinned. A simple coincidence, or an emerging pattern?

Mobeen finds a man who says he accused shopping mall Santa Claus, Bruce McArthur, of assault years before the serial killer was finally caught. And, he has the footage to prove it.

Mobeen digs deeper into the Toronto serial killer, but as he focuses in on two victims that seemed to break Bruce McArthur’s MO, he unearths hidden trauma, sex and drugs.

Mobeen’s investigation nears its conclusion, but a tip about a man who is still missing raises questions about more victims.
